For those of you who "don't get it," VCRs are pieces of sh*t that are always flashing 12:00 because no one uses them to figure out what time it is, so few bother to configure. This is Jack Bauer's because it's got the TV show 24's unique sound and clock

I set mine a couple times, but f*ck, any time it gets unplugged or the power goes out, you're f*cked and have to remember which button does what. (hold menu and press FF and RW twice then press the Play button eleven times to enable the clock setting function, let go of menu to select it and then press the FF and RW buttons to order a Gestapo officer to come and put you out of your misery because you're never going to figure this sh*t out)
